Nostradamus, Numerology, and the Last Pope

Many people point to Nostradamus’ predictions that might indicate the last Pope. After all, it’s Nostradamus. Of course there must be references to the last Pope.

The quatrain most often quoted, in reference to Pope Benedict XVI is in Century 5.

Nostradamus 5/49

Century 5, Quatrain 49

Nul de l’Espaigne mais de l’antique France,

Ne sera esleu pour le tremblant nacelle,

A l’ennemy sera faicte fiance,

Qui dans son regne sera peste cruelle.

Popular English translation:

Not from Spain but from ancient France,

Will be elected for the trembling bark,

He will make a promise to the enemy,

Who will cause great plague during his reign.

We’d suggest that the “bark” is actually barque, or the ship of Peter, meaning the Holy Roman Church.

A “barque” is a ship with at least three masts (the Holy Trinity?). The Roman Catholic Church has regularly been referred to as a boat or ship, referencing several events in the New Testament, including the idea that the church would continue its work as a “fisher of men.”

Many people pointed to the “trembling” as an indication of the latter days of Pope John Paul II, who suffered from Parkinson’s Disease. Thus, the next elected Pope is Benedict XVI. One wonders what the “promise to the enemy” might be, and the “great plague” during his reign.

A simple and oft-highlighted “plague” within the church has been the sexual misconduct of past Catholic priests (and some still serving in the church). Did Benedict, early in his tenure as Pope, make a promise of silence if the priests would voluntarily leave the priesthood, turn themselves in to authorities, or something like that?

Others say the answer is far deeper, embedded in the strife and conflicts we’ve seen in continuing global headlines. A secret agreement may yet be exposed. Resigning as Pope is extraordinary. Rumors are inevitable, and some may turn out to be true.

No matter what the answer, one problem with using that quatrain for “last Pope” predictions is that it’s in Century 5, but in Century 10, Quatrain 72, it says: “L’an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois,” or “In 1999, in the seventh (or September?) month…”

That makes a Century 5 prediction unlikely — but not impossible — for the last Pope. The verses would have to be far out of sequence.

Nostradamus 5/25

Nostradamus didn’t make easy the interpretations of his predictions. Though Century 5 is often interpreted as the 19th century — and seems to match events of that era — some people have pointed to Century 5, Quatrain 25:

Le prince Arabe Mars, Sol, Venus, Lyon

Regne d’Eglise par mer succombera:

Deuers la Perse bien pres d’vn million,

Bisance, Egypte ver. serp. inuadera.

Here’s the classic English translation:

The Arab Prince Mars, Sun, Venus, Leo,

The rule of the Church will succumb by sea:

Towards Persia very nearly a million men,

The true serpent will invade Byzantium and Egypt.

Here’s the same quatrain, translated using more modern geography and political references:

Muslims, wars, the Day of the Lord, the Harlot, the Lioness Beast

The reign of the Church from the sea shall be succumbed

Toward Iran one shall see nearly one million troops

Turkey, Egypt, evils shall the true serpent* invade.
